It is quite comical. I thought it was an awful choice excluding him for team NA last year and thought there was some Chia bias in there with Hamilton being the one that Calgary stole from Edmonton. He went from 41pts at 21, to 43 at 22, to 50 at 23 playing top pairing minutes.
HF can be influenced by the Oiler fans because of their abundance (and lack of Flames fans since the majority are here). Couple that with the bogus Leaf rumors last year and Hamilton was grossly undervalued. Reading those boards prior to the trade in 2015 Dougie was the next great Dman. A bad breakup in Boston and a rocky start in Calgary got the group think stating Hamilton is an awful Dman with some offensive skill. Finally after a year and a half plus he is getting the love he deserves again.
This is a guy that lost a poll to Adam Larson last year. He easily won the poll this summer
